Why is energy signal having a finite energy value and 'zero value of power'

AI Thread Summary
Energy signals have a finite energy value and zero power because they exist only for a limited duration, resulting in no average power over time. In contrast, power signals have finite power but infinite energy since they persist indefinitely. The relationship between energy and power is defined by the equations where average power equals total energy divided by time, and energy is the integral of power over time. Therefore, while energy signals are transient, power signals are continuous. This distinction highlights the fundamental differences in how energy and power are measured in signal processing.

Energy signal?

hai..
i want to know why is energy signal having a finite energy value and 'zero value of power'
similarly the power signal have finite value of power and an INFINITE VALUE OF ENERGY

HINT(S):
1) (Average) Power = (Total) Energy / time
2) Energy=\int(Power)dt
3) How much time do you calculate over?
 


hi
it is the general concept irrespective of time

Yes, but a power signal lasts forever. A (finite) energy signal thus has 0 power. A power signal, because of how long it lasts (forever) will also have infinite energy. Unless there's 0 average power.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
